  Alexis WilliamsSep 23, 2025
  An unpleasant smell from your Braun Rechargeable shaver head may be due to: 1. Cleaning the shaver head with water. Only use hot water and, occasionally, liquid soap (without abrasive substances) when cleaning the shaver head with water. Remove the Foil & Cutter cassette to let it dry. 2. Using a cleaning cartridge for too long. Replace the cleaning cartridge at least every 8 weeks.

Why has my Braun 5697 shaving performance dropped significantly?
- M
  Michael BlackburnAug 25, 2025
  If the shaving performance of your Braun Electric Shaver has dropped significantly, it could be due to several reasons. First, the foil and cutter might be worn and need replacement. Second, check if the personal setting of shaving performance has been changed; for a thorough and fast shave, the green (intensive) setting is recommended. Third, the shaving system might be clogged. To resolve this, soak the Foil & Cutter cassette in hot water with a drop of dish liquid, then rinse and tap it out. Once dry, apply a drop of light machine oil to the foil.

  If the battery performance of your Braun Electric Shaver has dropped significantly, it could be due to worn foil and cutter requiring more power for each shave, or the shaver head is regularly cleaned with water but not lubricated. To fix this, renew the Foil & Cutter cassette. If you regularly clean the shaver with water, apply a drop of light machine oil on top of the foil once a week for lubrication.

  If the replacement symbol lights up on your Braun Electric Shaver after you've recently changed the shaving parts, it means the reset button hasn't been pushed. Push the reset button for at least 3 seconds to reset the counter.

Why are battery segments in the display skipped on my Braun Electric Shaver as the battery decreases?
- B
  barronlisaSep 12, 2025
  Skipped battery segments on your Braun Electric Shaver indicate that the foil and cutter are likely worn, causing the shaver to require more power. Replacing the Foil & Cutter cassette and regularly oiling the shaving system, especially after cleaning with water, should improve this.

  If the cleaning cycle doesn't start when you press the start button on your Braun Electric Shaver, make sure the shaver is correctly placed in the Clean&Renew station, ensuring the shaver's contacts align with the station's contacts. Also, check if the cleaning cartridge needs replacing (if the display lights red). If neither, try pressing the start button again.

  Janet AllenSep 2, 2025
  If the battery segments in the display of your Braun Electric Shaver are skipped as the battery capacity decreases, it usually means the foil and cutter are worn, requiring more power for each shave. You should replace the Foil & Cutter cassette. Regularly oiling the shaving system, especially after cleaning with water only, can also help.
